Any games developers here?

Just wondering... I do some hobbyist coding in my spare time with Blitz3d, and more recently looking at Truevision3d with C#.

Just noticed that Microsoft have released a beta of their XNA dev kit for .net, which should mean you can create games for the XBOX 360

Think you have to wait until version 1.0 of the XNA studio as with the current beta version you can only develop stuff for the pc.

They have, but don't forget to read the small-print.

You can only create the 'game' and distribute it amongst friends who also have the XNA studio installed. You can't create a game and upload it onto XBLA for everyone to download. So if that sails your boat, then you should be laughing.

Although I don't think you'll have FULL access to the entire 360 architecture so some things (like networking, achievements, xbla, pressense) are disabled.
